Kind of the same thoughts as Djjaner but with visual art. I find that sometimes making stuff comes so easily and naturally and sometimes im so sick of it and cant be bothered to ever make stuff again. But somehow i always do, i think allowing yourself to be creative and just as strongly be uncreative keeps me from totally burning out.

i can relate to a lot of what you feel with the envy of other artists and the feeling of being talentless. i don't know any instruments or complex theory or any of that shit either. i just click on the piano roll in ableton in a way that i think sounds good. it doesn't really matter if you "work hard" either, if you like what you make then i just call that a difference in workflow!
of course that's the other problem. i feel the pain of hating something you've made right after you publish it, it happens to me all the time. i'm not really sure how to avoid that because i dont have enough practice, but i just try to not let perfect be the enemy of good, and try to focus on the parts of the song that i had the most fun coming up with.
i hope you can overcome these feelings, even if it's gonna take a while. you have a real talent for making awesome soundscapes in your music and i'd hate to stop seeing new casper uploads on my feed :')
sorry if this is kind of rambly, i'm about to go to bed but felt like i had to give my two cents on this

Hello, I have been through this period of demotivation several times, it will come back to you again and again even so your will to make music not just break and over time you will find a lot of positive energy to create great music again, so I can recommend taking a short break. Otherwise your latest Synthwave music is really Excellent! You are a genuine in this genre. I've been experimenting with music all my life, creating my own genre of music, try combining several genres, maybe you'll be more successful. To summarize, there are millions of musicians who have the same goal of becoming more famous and suffer from the same problems, why is their music more listened to when my music sounds better? If I knew the recipe for success, I would share it with you, but there is no such thing, everything is just a coincidence, nothing more. Have a nice day. John
